I have 2 OS's on my comp. 1 is on the G drive and the other is in the c drive. I want remove the OS on the C Drive.
How do i go about doing this?
Thanks

Careful...
Formatting c: will disable access to the OS on g: ...? How each OS was installed, and how you access either now, determines the most appropriate way to go about this excerise?
What are the two OS involved and where is each installed, and how was each installed?
Do you actually have a true dual-boot (where the OS on g: is via the boot-menu on c: , or even via an add-in boot-manager util); also do you have just one physical drive?
Presuming you have a boot-menu (via NT/W2K/XP) have) - and are not using an add-in boot-util - the minimum you can do is to simply boot to the OS on g: , ensure it is set as default OS to boot and then via Explorer locate/delete the OS (the windows folder?) on c: ; and also clean up the boot.ini entries afterwards
Afterwards you empty the recycle-bin (for the OS on g: ) and then defrag c: to tidy up the scene...
But more detailed info from you would be useful so as to suggest a path more appropriate to your installation as is.

The suggestion in response #1 will not work. The OS on drive G: will not work when changed to drive C:.
Trvlr's suggestion will work. You can also delete the c:\program files folder.

I don't see the G: Drive after I'm logged in. The problem is that when I boot up it gives me the option to pick which OS i want to use. 1 works and the other doesn't.
I need to delete the one that doesn't work and I am not able to do it from the OS that works.
Does this make sense?
Thanks
